I think I've maxed mine out to about 3.4V, at which point it really starts
to leak badly, and it severely shortens the cap's life.

I really wouldn't push it past 3V.

article with the bicore animation and noise trigger principle close-up
traces and your freeforming tutorials.

BTW I had trouble with your link but this works :

Well done!

I made a "translation" of the famous Wouter Brok article, so bicore

13629 Tue, 18 Apr 2000 16:08:16 EDT Solarizing with the Chloroplast beam@sgiblab.sgi.com turtletek@aol.com
Does anyone know if the "Ucoba"
(http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Node/3904/pictures/ucoba.html) can
be solarized using the Chloroplast SE
(http://members.home.net/cybug/Chloro/chloro~1.htm)?

I know of the PM1, the D1, and the 1381 DLSE for solarizing. Are these as
effective as the Chloroplast? Which do you prefer/recommend?

What can and can't the Chloroplast solarize? And if you don't mind, why?

Many thanks,

a fixed load impedance the capacitor discharge follows a smooth exponential
curve instead of a linear straight line.

Yeah, apparently your server thinks that if you've got a trailing / that it
is supposed to be looking for a .html file whereas the actual suffix is .htm

http://www.geocities.com/beamnet/Bicorearticle.htm

works ok but you won't be in Sebastiaan's frame format.
